Vaginal tape surgery improves sexual function in women with stress incontinence: Study
China: Tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) surgery improves sexual function in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), suggests a recent study in the journal Menopause.
Lan Zhu, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China, and colleagues conducted this study to evaluate sexual function in women before and after TVT surgery for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
105 sexually active patients with SUI who underwent TVT surgery were enrolled in this prospective cohort study between August 2014 and August 2018. The Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire Short Form (PISQ-12) was administered pre- and postoperatively. Statistical analyses were performed using paired-sample t-tests.
